For my final blog entry of 2013, I attempted a musical experiment - I opened up my "Year in Review" issue of Entertainment Weekly, listened to their picks for the Top 10 Singles of 2013, and wrote my impressions of each song. Needless to say, about halfway through this process I wished I hadn't started.

Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi. I bet he was really chuffed to know he was a guest in his own band. don't think I've ever heard that album, the track In For The Kill you posted sounds pretty solid. it actually sounds quite Iron Maiden-y, especially the drums and the guitar solo (imo)

^^ Yep, "In For the Kill" is a great track, not really Sabbath sounding at all (which, of course, was the whole idea since it was supposed to be Tony's solo album)... I hadn't heard the album since it was a new release until this past week, when I came across it randomly in the five dollar bin at Best Buy. I liked it a lot better this time than I did years ago.Thanx for checking out my ramble!

My kids found this craptacular on Netflix last weekend and of course wanted to watch it since we're "cat people." Total mistake! By the halfway point even they were laughing at the horrible acting, continuity errors, and other misfires. Turns out this flick was made by a guy who usually does softcore dude porn, but he makes these quickie talking-animal "family comedies" on the side. That explains a skin crawlingly awkward scene with two teenage boys who seemed like they were in an awful hurry to get shirtless and jump into the pool together.
